Cocobay is the absolute best!!!! The staff is so thoughtful and accommodating! And I have never ever been anywhere so beautiful! They made our honeymoon an amazingly memorable experience!!! We will most certainly go back but the next time we are bringing friends.

We just returned from getting married there and then staying for our honeymoon. This resort is top notch. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met. The accommodations and food are excellent. We will definitely be returning.

Our waterfront cottage had an extraordinary view. It was so private and relaxing. The resort is small and very friendly.

The bed was amazing along with the private pool in our room! The view was just breath taking as well

The infinitiy pool overlooking the sea was spectacular. The beach accessed from the hotel was stunning and it was great to have a bar so close. The cottage was sweet and food was mostly very good.

Tips for writing a great review

Give us details. People love to hear about the little things. Was the air conditioning working? Was there a chocolate on your pillow? We like long reviews, so you should try to write at least 50 words.

The views and beach are incredible and the staff is very eager to please. breakfast and lunch were consistently very good. Plenty of beach towels, loungers and the new complementary wi-fi was a welcome surprise, although still a little sketchy with service interruptions. Not a big deal for us though. Lobster entree always very good.

The food at dinner needed the most improvement. Fish entrees were routinely over cooked although flavors were generally good. The staff raved about the salmon cakes one night but they did not live up to the hype. Maybe it is a local thing. Would like to see more curry and island dishes. The beef curry at lunch one day was fantastic.

Staff, room, food and amazing beach. Wonderful hotel, we did really enjoy our stay and will be back ASAP ! Staff was great, starting by the Manager Mr O’Neal , Nasasha, Mellissa and of course the lovely staff at the restaurant Kathleen, Sonnia and the others !
Paradise with a very sweet staff around you.

WiFi, beach towels & long chairs were hard to get. We noticed also that people from outside use the hotel's long chairs at the beach and of course guests are oblige to lay down on the sand or to go back to the pool.

The infinitiy pool overlooking the sea was spectacular. The beach accessed from the hotel was stunning and it was great to have a bar so close. The cottage was sweet and food was mostly very good.

The sunset pool area was had a smell at all times that was a bit like sewerage so we never sat there. The plunge pool off the room was freezing cold so we didn't get to use it and the netting around the bed was a bit restrictive. They forgot to service our room on our first day (we followed the 'shell protocol' to indicate the room was free/ready but they still missed us) and it tainted the experience a bit as birds came in through the open french doors and pecked at the suger sachets leaving a mess all over the floor and we had dirty coffee cups and coffee maker for the next day. Some of the staff are great, some are straight out rude. It was odd.

There were lots of things we liked:
Arrival and transfer easy and no trouble with taxi from airport. Whole resort has a relaxed down to earth atmosphere. Cottage with great view of the sea and far away from noise from bar area. Very comfy bed. Food very nice especially at dinner time. Great beach and enough sun loungers. Some staff very nice.

The things we didn't like:
Some staff bored an dismissive and not at all interested in guest welfare. Their comments sounded over rehearsed. Breakfast and lunch buffet quality good but not very nicely presented. Breakfast always the same choices. No fresh fruit juice which was very disappointing. Only one beach towel per person and often they were not ready in the morning. Internet to pay for - should really be included in this time and age!

The bungalows were great but be advised the pictures on booking.com are of the suites and not the usual rooms. We eventually got what we thought we had paid for after some "discussion". Super beaches,lovely staff and good food.

We read so many reviews before we booked Cocobay but no one mentioned the hundreds of tree frogs that inhabit the Resort, the noise at night from these little creatures was horrendous from dusk until dawn. No wonder the management give you ear plugs

The view from the cottages was fantastic. Access to the beach from the hotel was great too. There were two lovely infinity pools.

We got downgraded for two of our nights from the room we booked on our honeymoon. It was a real downer for us. They offered us massages for the same value, but the massages were poor. The road signs to find the property were terrible. Do not rent a car without getting satnav!

1) the location on the clear and nice beach 2) hammock on the balcony 3) champagne in the room 4) flowers on the bed

1) photos shows much more clean, new and nice rooms rather than in the reality - all wooded parts in the room need renovation 2) no tv in the room 3) for all inclusive hotel very limited food variation in the restaurant 4) impossible to leave the food during the breakfast- the birds will steel immediately 5) employees at the bar are lazy 6) very high priced hotel for the quality offered

Great location and views. 2 nice infinity pools. The staff was great - from Tony and Oriel the bartenders, Jahmourlie and Cicely who worked at the restaurant, and Glenda who did our room. If you are on a honeymoon and haven't traveled much you might really enjoy it. If you know what else is out there you won't want to stay here. Dinners were not as bad with flies as the other two meals daily. Our room was very clean - but the grounds and pool area would get cigarette butts and lots of left over cups every day. Cups were picked up but not as often as they should - butts were often there for a few days and then cleaned up.

Each day after cleaning the room the AC is turned off, not a problem - it saves energy. However since all the cottages have corrugated tin roofs they get very hot. At the end of the day you have to go to the room while there is still sunlight to open all the doors to let in air. { After sunset the doors being open will only let in more flying and crawling bugs than you can shake a stick at. } Then you turn on the small AC unit which is no match even for the small size of the cottage. With the A/C set as low as possible and running all night your room will still be in the mid 70's at sunrise....Since there are only shear curtains to protect privacy but they do NOT block the sunlight - you will be woken up sometime around 6AM. We would put on our plane blindfolds to go back to sleep again.
Front desk could not change any money from $10 to $100 bills at all - so were were unable to tip our excellent servers. The beach was ok but sad compared to most of the island. If you snorkel - you will SEE what I mean. Bottles, garbage, clothes etc in the water. We went to the beach there once and knew we would have to pay the price to enjoy the rest of our vacation. We left every day to go to good beaches. Although we had to pay for cabs and meals and drinks at the places we went - it was so worth it. We took a cab that would get paid on the return because we could break a $100 at the lunch spot and have cash for the cab. The buffet breakfast and lunches were so so at best. The choices were not many and repetitive. The fact there is another restaurant on site (Shear Rocks) that is leased out and you have no option to eat there other than paying full price is ridiculous. Dinner menu was small in choices, usually 3 for starters, 1 soup or option of small pasta of the day and 3 main courses. The size of the main course would usually be about the size of a post-it note. So eat the pasta instead of the soup if you don't want to go to bed hungry.

Fantastic, romantic, quiet honeymoon destination. Extremely helpful, friendly staff in general. Unique views of the turquoise sea and white sands of the surrounding beaches. Many romantic touches such as being greeted by a bottle of champagne or candles and petals one evening. We will be going back.

The view from the hotel,everywere you were was Fantastic! Great caribean food,but also european, Im a vegetarien, and there was even food for me too. Beers,wine,drinks,water as much as you wanted. Pool area and lounge wonderful,and you felt like home. You pay a little more for this place compared to other All inclusive(except Cocos Hotel,more expensive,and not as good as Cocobay,many desapointed about Cocos,so were we), stay in Cocobay and you dont want to leave,and see and stay at the best place in Antigua. No other place is so quiet,beautiful,and great place to get married, or for your Honeymoon,like us. We can only say,we would like to have stayed there longer.

We have booked a Deluxe room, but did not get seaview,but with a garden view,and a road. But when we ordered it should have been with Sea view. So was very disapointed about that! So get one with pool,to be sure.

We just returned from getting married there and then staying for our honeymoon. This resort is top notch. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful people I've ever met. The accommodations and food are excellent. We will definitely be returning.

They could have offered more shuttles to different places on the island.
